April Fools jokes to play on members? he he

[Velocd]

Meh, your petty attempts for any suitable April Fools Joke makes me laugh. <insert sarcasm>

I'm not going for so much the ?making the forum look like it's been rendered disabled or really screwed up to where the members will instantly know the gimmick? look, but more of some kind of joke that will mess with everyone?s mind and be so incredibly hard to figure out it wont be until midway through May when somebody finally uncovers it. Mwahahah?
(of course I'm not going to mention such a grandeur plot)

I think it would be good if this place is a redirect to the church site vb.org

Last years April Fools easily tricked me, with the whole "bot-type message service that responds automatically (and with great intellectuality). The irony is that such a hack now sorta does exist, with those bot-hacks that exist.

If I remember, wasn't that "bot" actually supposed to reply in place of you instead of after you?

[high]* Link14716 gets an idea. [/high]

[filburt1]

Remember in your joke not to piss off your users. I for one would be furious if somebody else tried posting in my name.

[Sweet Cheeks]

I had an idea but its probably impossible. I'd like to make it to where with every forum home refresh, the order of all the forums/categories changed?

[Link14716]

That'd be possible, make it randomly order the ctegories in index.php.

he he I'll play around with it and see what I can come up with

[Xenon]

@sweet:
in index.php:

PHP Code:

$forums=$DB_site->query('SELECT * FROM forum WHERE displayorder<>0 AND active=1 ORDER BY parentid,displayorder'); 


change to

PHP Code:

$forums=$DB_site->query('SELECT * FROM forum WHERE displayorder<>0 AND active=1 ORDER BY parentid,RAND()'); 


should work i think

@mist: you should learn the use of smilies.....
